FAQs
Who is the ASICS Novablast 5 designed for?
The Novablast 5 is primarily designed for medium-weight runners who are looking for a highly cushioned, energetic, and responsive shoe for both daily training and racing.
Is the Novablast 5 suitable for running in wet conditions?
Yes, it features a HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole, which combines AHAR and ASICSGrip technologies to provide best-in-class traction, even on wet surfaces.
What provides the bouncy feel in the Novablast 5?
The shoe incorporates FF BLAST MAX foam in the midsole along with a trampoline-inspired outsole design, which work together to deliver an incredibly bouncy and energetic sensation.
How should I clean my ASICS Novablast 5 shoes?
For the engineered mesh upper, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For the outsole, remove dirt with a soft brush. Always air dry your shoes naturally, away from direct heat, and avoid machine washing.
Can I use the Novablast 5 for both long runs and speed work?
Absolutely. Its balanced cushioning, high energy return, and new midsole geometry make it versatile enough to handle comfortable long-distance training and also provide the responsiveness needed for faster efforts and races.
What is the benefit of the engineered mesh upper?
The engineered mesh upper provides exceptional stretch for a comfortable fit, excellent ventilation to keep your feet cool, and enhanced durability for long-lasting performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes rubbing.
Check your lacing technique; a looser or alternative lacing pattern might alleviate pressure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that are not too thick or thin. The engineered mesh upper is designed for stretch, so ensure it's not overly compressed.
Experiencing reduced grip, especially on wet surfaces.
Inspect the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear on the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly. While designed for superior wet traction, extreme conditions can still challenge grip. Consider the age of your shoes, as outsole wear can impact performance.
The bouncy sensation seems to diminish over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses with use. Ensure you are rotating your shoes if you run frequently. Store shoes in a cool, dry place to help preserve the foam's integrity. If the shoes have accumulated significant mileage, it may be time for a replacement.
Unpleasant odor developing in the shoes.
Allow your shoes to air out thoroughly after each use, preferably in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles occasionally to allow both the shoe interior and insoles to dry completely. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can help absorb moisture and odors. Avoid storing shoes in damp places.

Unboxing your ASICS Novablast 5 is straightforward. Simply ensure you have the correct size (this variant is UK 7.5) and lace them up comfortably and securely before your first run. These shoes are specifically engineered for medium-weight runners, offering optimal support and cushioning for this profile. While they can be used by others, medium-weight runners will experience the intended performance benefits most effectively. To maintain the longevity and performance of your Novablast 5, clean the engineered mesh upper with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. For the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole, use a soft brush to clear any debris from the tread. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the materials.
